Chapter 585 - If She Gave Birth to Children, They Would Be under His First Wifes Name (2/2)

He did not dare to ask too much again. However, Ling Hai felt as if his heart had been gouged if he didn’t do anything and saw his daughter killed before his eyes. He looked up at Feng Yuxuan, pleading in his eyes.

“Your Highness, you don’t have to be hard on yourself. This is all Rui’er’s fault.” Compared to Ling Hai whose eyes glistened with tears, Duke Ding Ling Zhen seemed much calmer. He looked at Feng Yuxuan and said in a grave voice. It was obvious that Ding General Manor could not keep a daughter whose reputation had been ruined.

Ling Hai did not dare to say anything when he saw how determined his eldest brother was to take his daughter’s life, but there was a hint of hatred in his eyes. However, he had always lived under Ling Zhen, so he did not dare to say anything else. He just pleaded with Feng Yuxuan with his eyes. The only person who could save Rui’er was King Chu.

“Father-in-law, Uncle, no matter how many things Rui’er has done, the cause is not her fault. I… I really can’t bear to leave Rui’er. Just leave her in the manor. I will take good care of her and never let anything happen to her. If she gives birth to children in the future, they will be under Fengyan’s name, and will also be the legitimate children of King Chu’s Manor.”

Feng Yuxuan looked up and stated affectionately, tears welling up in his eyes.

Upon hearing that, Duke Ding was shocked. He looked at Feng Yuxuan incredulously. Ling Hai was so surprised that he almost smiled.

“Your Highness, do you know what you are talking about?” Duke Ding suddenly stood up and stared at Feng Yuxuan. The look in his eyes seemed to be something solid, not missing the slightest expression on Feng Yuxuan’s face.

“Uncle, don’t worry. These words came straight from my heart. Fengyan is my first wife and Rui’er is my legal wife. I love both of them. However, G.o.d makes fools of me to this point. How could I bear to see Rui’er die? Uncle, if Rui’er goes back with you, it will really be a dead end. But there is still a chance for her to live in my manor. I will definitely try my best to cure her illness. If she gets well in the future and gives birth to children, they will be under Fengyan’s name, and will also be my successors.”

Feng Yuxuan answered directly. Then, he stood up and curtsied to Duke Ding and his brother. “Father-in-law, Uncle, please grant my wis.h.!.+”

“Good, great, that’s great!” Ling Hai did not know what to say. He kept on saying while wiping his tears. How could he not be so touched that he could not complete his speech when he had such a loyal son-in-law? At the thought of his little daughter, Ling Hai felt that he would thank King Chu even if he had to die.

He was not only saving Ling Rui’er’s life, but also bringing hope to the entire Ding General Manor!

Rui’er was frightened out of her mind, not born mad. The possibility of her being cured was very high. However, with her status, even if she gave birth to children in the future, they would not be recognized. At most, they would be treated as a concubine’s children. However, it would be different if they were under Ling Fengyan’s name.

Ling Fengyan was King Chu’s first wife, who had a good reputation and had been killed by others. The son under her name would be even more decent than under Ling Rui’er’s name. It could be said that he would definitely be King Chu’s successor. If King Chu ascended the throne, the boy would become the legal son of the East Palace. So Duke Ding Ling Zhen also stood up excitedly.

Both of them didn’t even dare to think about such big grace!

They had thought that their relations.h.i.+p with King Chu would be broken after Ling Rui’er’s death. Who would have thought that such a good thing would happen so suddenly! If Ling Zhen had not been very calm, he would have grinned from ear to ear. This was big grace King Chu had given to Ding General Manor.

Pulling his younger brother who was so happy that he did not know what to do, Duke Ding knelt down in front of Feng Yuxuan with a plop and kowtowed heavily. “Your Highness… I won’t say superfluous words. Your Highness, just tell us if you want us to do something in the future,” he said in a low voice with tears in his eyes.

This was not simply a word of grat.i.tude, but a clear att.i.tude of Duke Ding and his brother. They really stood on Feng Yuxuan’s side and had abandoned their previous ambiguous att.i.tude. As long as there was a Crown Prince who had the bloodline of Ding General Manor, it meant that Ding General Manor could maintain at least 50 to 60 years’ glory and wealth.

Given King Chu’s generous and gracious character, he would not kick down the ladder when he became the Emperor. Even though there was a saying that trusted aides are eliminated when they have outlived their usefulness, Duke Ding believed that King Chu was not that kind of person!

“Uncle, Father-in-law, please get up. You overwhelm me with more than what I deserve. No matter what, I’m still your junior. Please get up.” Feng Yuxuan came over and helped them up, one with each hand. Then, he respectfully asked them to sit down.

“Your Highness, the reason why Rui’er made such a scene is that Consort Xuan splashed watermelon juice all over her body in the palace. Otherwise, how could there be such an unnecessary disaster? Your Highness, do we need to deal with them?” Since everyone was of one mind, Duke Ding, Ling Zhen did not hide his plan anymore and came straight to the point.

The incident at King Chu’s Manor was a continuation of the incident in the palace. It was of course Rui’er’s fault that she had come to this, but what about Mo Xuetong, who had splashed watermelon juice all over her? Did she not have any responsibility at all?

Duke Ding and his brother chose to forget that it was Ling Rui’er who almost splashed the watermelon juice on Mo Xuetong. If Mo Xuetong had not dodged quickly, the watermelon juice would have fallen on her. Then the one who had lost her reputation would have been Mo Xuetong.

Feng Yuxuan thought for a while and replied implicitly, “Eighth Brother is protecting Consort Xuan, so we can’t deal with her for the time being.”

Ling Hai slammed the table and stood up. He gritted his teeth and said, “Since we can’t deal with King Xuan’s Manor, then we have to choose Mo Manor!” His eyes were as vicious as if he were going to swallow someone. His daughter could not be destroyed for nothing at the hands of others…
